Salut!
I'm a 22 year old photography student, in Atlanta, and have a passion for all kinds of art. From comics, to cars; from theatre to photography; and from music to mythology.

 

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there’s nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour’d rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let pry through the portage of the head
Like the brass cannon; let the brow o’erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a galled rock
O’erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swill’d with the wild and wasteful ocean.
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
To his full height. On, on, you noblest English.
Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof!
Fathers that, like so many Alexanders,
Have in these parts from morn till even fought
And sheathed their swords for lack of argument:
Dishonour not your mothers; now attest
That those whom you call’d fathers did beget you.
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
And teach them how to war. And you, good yeoman,
Whose limbs were made in England, show us here
The mettle of your pasture; let us swear
That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;
For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game’s afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry ‘God for Harry, England, and Saint George!’

“Artists instinctively want to reflect humanity, their own and each other’s, in all its intermittent virtue and vitality, frailty and fallibility. “ -Tom Hiddleston

THE DEEP BLUE SEA

Terence Davies, 2011

Rachel Weisz and Tom Hiddleston

Based upon a 1954 British play by Terence Rattigan

“Let me give you a case: Jack loves Jill, Jill loves Jack. But Jack doesn’t love Jill in the same way. Jack never asked to be loved.”

It is hard to believe that this film comes from a play written and performed almost 60 years ago. Though, the story takes place in a different time - it feels current and relevant.

I nearly pml when he said that ‘harps[1]’ bit. xP I agree, Chris does look mighty good in that suit, but …what I wouldn’t give to see Tom flauntin the goods in a skin-tight spandex suit. xP Harps indeed.
